APC to provide LNG transfer system for GNL Quintero

Alpha Process Controls, the UK-based division of GT Group, has been awarded a contract to supply GNL Quintero terminal in Chile with LNG hose transfer system. 

Under the contract, APC will deliver the complete ERC systems, consisting of liquid and vapor lines, which will be employed for emergency ship-to-shore transfer of LNG when pre-installed loading arms cannot be used, the company said in a statement.

With the ERC couplings, APC will supply fixed and adjustable height saddles, hoses, concentric reducers and deployment equipment.

The systems will be manufactured, tested and commissioned at APC’s facility in England prior to delivery to the terminal on the Pacific coast. The regasification terminal, which has been supplying gas to central Chile since 2009, can manage 15 million cubic meters of natural gas per day and is in the process of increasing that capacity with further investments in its facility.
